About Me

My photo
My mother was an expert seamstress and often did alterations on costly garments. She once told me that I would learn more about sewing by taking a well made garment apart than I would from any pattern. How true I discovered this statement was! Recently I was looking over a pattern that a friend gave me. She wants me to help her sew aprons for Christmas gifts. After studying the sewing instructions a bit I came to a familiar conclusion; if I purchased a finely crafted apron it would not be put together this way. Who writes these instructions anyway?!

The "Bella" baby blanket




This blanket is made with comfort and durabilty in mind. you can wash and wash and it just gets softer and more wonderful. Flannel and soft fabrics make up the pieced front as well as the back. It is tied with chenille yarn--again softness. This particular blanket has fabric yo-yos hand appliqued on the front in a random flowing pattern. In this case these yo-yos are made of coordinating fabric from the baby's room and the flannel was picked to compliment the color scheme. baby blanket $43--with yo-yos $53
